Effectiveness of Project Based Learning (PjBL) Model on Mathematics Learning Outcomes of Elementary School Students
This study analyzes the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on primary school students' mathematics learning outcomes. The research highlights the importance of primary education in developing students' cognitive and analytical skills, addressing challenges such as low interest in mathematics. Using a quantitative design, 24 students were randomly sampled. Data were collected through pretests and posttests to measure students' mathematics learning outcomes before and after implementing the PjBL model. Descriptive statistics were employed to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and standard error. A paired samples t-test was conducted to compare pretest and posttest scores, revealing a significant improvement in learning outcomes (mean difference = -11.125, p < 0.05). The findings confirm that the PjBL model significantly enhances mathematics learning outcomes. This study concludes that the PjBL model is an effective instructional strategy to improve mathematics achievement in primary education.

STRENGTHENING UNDERSTANDING OF NATIONAL ASSESSMENT QUESTION MATERIAL THROUGH REVIEW OF QUESTION MATERIAL AND INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER DEVICES IN CLASS V STUDENTS OF KANDANGAN STATE PRIMARY SCHOOL
The researcher's aim in studying this phenomenon is based on the National Assessment replacing the PBB which is designed as an evaluation carried out by the government to assess the quality of educational services in educational units with the aim of improving and increasing the quality of student learning on an ongoing basis. This requires careful preparation from both educators and students. ANBK questions consist of reasoning questions which make students feel confused when working on them. Therefore, a strategy is needed by teachers to provide additional study hours for students to review and discuss the questions that will be tested during ANBK implementation. Apart from that, students are also trained to know and operate computers, which is the most important part of preparing students for ANBK.

The Risk of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Preschool Children
ADHD symptoms in preschool children have an impact on social development, especially social competence. ADHD symptoms in preschool children will increase oppositional behavior and behavioral problems with peers, making it difficult for children to make friends and establish healthy relationships. Early detection of ADHD risk is important, but the picture of ADHD risk in preschool children is still not widely known. This study aims to obtain a description of ADHD symptoms in preschool children in East Java. This study used descriptive quantitative research with a sample size of 202 preschool children. The instrument to detect ADHD risk is the Abbreviated Conners Rating Scale (ACRS). Data findings were analyzed using univariate analysis. The results of data analysis showed that 30% (60 out of 202) preschool children had ADHD risk. The most common ADHD symptom is Tirelessness, or excessive activity. These findings suggest that ADHD risk detection needs attention at the preschool level.

THE USE OF TELEMEDICINE IN INDONESIA: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
This article reviews evidence-based studies on the effectiveness of telemedicine in Tele-mental Health (TMH) or telepsychology across various community groups. The review, sourced from Google Scholar using keywords such as coparenting determinant, telemedicine, mental health, consultation, digitalization, and clinical psychologist, aims to provide a scientific basis for integrating mental health services with technology. Telemedicine, which involves long-distance communication through telephones and video conferencing, offers an alternative to reach wider communities and bridge gaps in service accessibility. The implementation of telepsychology in Indonesia considers factors such as professionalism, infrastructure, multiculturalism, and the competence of psychologists. Findings indicate that telepsychology is as effective as face-to-face therapy in terms of treatment outcomes, but it is more cost-effective and accessible, particularly in remote areas. Further research is needed to assess the effectiveness of TMH in Indonesia, especially for severe mental health disorders.
